Why do cigarette smokers cough more than nonsmokers points 2 the tar in cigarette smoke tends to make alveoli stick closed coughing opens them by raising the pressure in the lungs coughing forces more oxygen into the blood coughing stimulates blood flow to the lungs cigarette smoke harms the cilia that normally move debris out of the lungs coughing is the remaining way to clean the lungs cigarette smoking partially paralyzes the muscles in the lungs resulting in an increased residual volume coughing exchanges this dead air

The act of coughing up blood is called Hemoptysis. It is a symptom of a life-threatening lung disease. It may be a symptom of a person with chronic bronchitis or of lung cancer. One of the cause of these illnesses is persistent smoking. But it does not mean that you already gain this sickness when you cough up blood. But there is a big chance of getting a grave illness when you always cough up blood. This requires thorough and systematic evaluation and observation to fully determine which and what cause hemoptysis. And if you are very addicted to smoking, there is a greater chance for you to have serious diseases like lung cancer and chronic bronchitis. - goftpfan 114579.

Having blood in your sit or phlegm after coughing could be a sign of wide variety of diseases, more commonly of respiratory tract infections or illnesses. These would include: bronchitis, which is an upper respiratory tract infection that could be caused by a case of the flu or common cold or by chronic smoking; bronchiectasis, which is a condition that is caused by damage to the airways; pneumonia, which is caused by the inflammation of the lungs; and tuberculosis, which is a bacterial infection that commonly affects the lungs. It could also be caused by gastrointestinal bleeding, which is very serious and is a condition that should be diagnosed and treated right away. It could also be caused by less serious conditions such as nosebleed, throat irritation and bleeding gums. If you start coughing up blood or if you have blood in your spit, make sure to seek emergency medical assistance as it could be fatal if you are not diagnosed right away. Diana 022007.

" i coughed up much phlegm within a couple months..."

Yes! I quit smoking over two years ago. I coughed up much phlegm within a couple months, but seemingly normal phlegm. I have recently been eating healthy, including lots of garlic and peppers. I have been excercising regularly as well. The other day I did a vigorous cardio workout for nearly an hour, pushing my lungs to their max. The next morning I coughed up dark brown, almost black, phlegm. It came up four times! It wasn`t like anything I had ever coughed up before. The healthy eating and the cardio broke up tar in my lungs and my body expelled it. This is the most disgusting experience, but I`m very glad to get it out now.

There are several conditions that can causa you to spit blood afetr a violent cough, some are rather "normal" and some rather serious. Either way, you should consult your doctor and schedule an X ray, my mother had a lung cancer and her first symptoms where violent cough followed by blood spitting. Anyway, there are many causes for this condition medically refered as hemoptysis or Bloody Sputum...the more common causes are Bronchitis, Amyloidosis, Trauma to the Lung, Tuberculosis, Lung Cancer, Pneumonia, Bronchial adenoma ,a Foreign body in the lung, or a Fungus infection of the lung as well as parasites.

Once you have stopped smoking, your lungs will start to get purified. This process will start in the first week after you quit smoking. Your lungs will be back to their normal function. They`ll clean up all the dirt which they got during your smoking time. As the time passes and your lungs get healthier your cough will also get less and finally after almost a year you`ll notice no cough. There are no such methods for stopping this cough. It will stop itself after your lungs are completely clean and healthy.

When a person smokes, he/she develops a thick layer of tar in his/her lungs, due to this tar the lungs stop their cleaning function. Burning tobacco causes this tar to get stick in the lungs. Once this layer of tar gets in there, the person starts coughing and this cough gets worst gradually as the smoker smokes more. The cleaning hair like particles in lungs which clean out all the dirt out of lungs do not work after some time of smoking and hence causes cough. This cough further damages the lungs.

Mainly the cough starts soon after you quit smoking, it is a natural phenomenon that once your used to something and it suddenly stops affects you inner body system. It usually stops if it is properly medicated within 7-10 days otherwise may takes longer enough to cause asthma. It is better to consult your doctor for a better advice. (Sidq2_Jawad)

Smokers cough thick black or dark brown type stuff. This is due to the tar in their lungs. After sometime of smoking, a thick layer of tar gets into your lungs. As lungs try to purify themselves they give out that tar in form of black or dark brown stuff while the smoker coughs. This stuff is basically the dirt in the lungs due to smoking.

Well I had a fairly bad coughing fit, lasted for about 5 minutes. I`ve been sick with sore throat, nausea, stuffyness, and general feeling downness. After my coughing fit, I blew my nose but that was clear and there was a lot of saliva in my mouth. When I spit in the sink, it ws a light pink color. Now I`ve got a headache and a sore chest, but that`s from the coughing.. Any ideas?
